I quit my job, rented out my place, packed 20 Kg of my life and moved to Australia. These are my perception of life in australia.

I have been always on the move... Some people call me a nomad! Travelling slow and spending weeks or months in each country, I have managed to backpack in 35 countries absorbing the culture, experiences and adventures within each nation. My goal was first to share this with my family and friends. This has remained the same, and fortunately for me through my friends and family sharing my stories and pictures I have gained more friends! And these friends have given me opportunities to travel in more places- thank you!!! I hope to continue sharing my "journal" and photos of the fantastic experiences that life has given me.

But more than gaining a stamp in my passport, I truly believe in travelling through each region of the countries and spending time with the local people to understand the way they live, speak and see the world.

Why move to Australia?? This is the big question and here it goes... While travelling around the Baltic nations I met a pretty nice fellow - Paul. And since then we just got stuck together!!! SInce the first day we met we travelled and then he moved to Portugal where we lived a full year with me experiencing my home, culture and learning my language! After that we decided to move to Australia (I need to say though that every day I was in his ears telling him that we should move)... I remeber laying in bed and every airplane that would pass by I would tell him that was our plane to Australia! I sold and gave away all my worldly possessions, quit all my jobs, rented out my place and packed 20 Kg of my life to move to Australia with him... And since then I have never looked back!

Now based in Australia I have the perfect excuse to explore the other side of the world...
